Tackle

I got told off by FB for using the word "pikey" , but it's OK apparently to call people "c#ck sucking c#nts" all day long & share graphic images & videos of real people suffering horrible deaths. Absolute shithole.

I should have said in this post that obviously to make things easier, the marshals should have a small assortment of mags preloaded with the right weight. Weighing bb's just sounds like a right kerfuffle that'll be easy to fiddle on the fly.

I'm not getting them either ? @proffrink

Calm down PAL, he's kidding, you got trolled by a nobody on airsoft hub, no one really cares, even the police, but maybe the law should include a proviso that nobody sells rifs under 18, that way they won't get their panties all twisted if called out ?

WTF, what's his hairline got to do with anything?, not all us follically challenged are angry trolls lol Yep? Yep, & this time be a bit creative with your info, ie feck all or fib

I think we can argue this for the next couple of months, but ultimately all sites should be chronoing at the start of the day, on one weight, probably 0.20, and be prepared to have marshals do random on the spot checks using the same weight, especially if particular players have history or complaints made against them. End of the day, cheats WILL cheat, they'll use everything they can to achieve what the perceive to be an advantage over their fellow players, hpa, npas, quick change springs etc all enable them to make short notice changes to energy output after the chrono, & sites can't stop them, but they're letting down their honest clients by not trying their hardest to root out the cheats, & when found they should be very publicly banned. Any site that does that, I'd play there, as was said earlier, it's all about trust so any site that works hard to push that agenda gets my vote.

Oh I trust them......... About as far as I could throw them ?

Silly me ?‍♂️, of course you have?

I prefer the first picture ?

Must've missed that, she was obviously an absolute Walt of the highest order ?

The years sound close, I seem to remember her claiming to be an officer in the aussie army, she was quite a lump, more like a rugby prop forward with mental wiry blonde hair & a big mouth. Definitely didn't look like any Israeli I ever met ?

Don't forget the "exterior damage" that he's chosen not to show in detail, spend 1.1k on my rifle, here's one terrible picture to convince you its worth the money ?

That's enough to put me off, when I used to occasionally player marshal at a group of Kent sites, there was one particular team, from Essex I believe, & led by a loud mouthed aussie bird (are there any other kind of aussie ??), & their tactic was to arrive late & miss the mandatory chrono, until one day @Duff Beer, who was a full time marshal pulled them all aside, only to find pretty much every rifle was running hot. I think they all got banned at their next visit for other shenanigans. I was weird though, she was like some kinda pied piper, considerably older than the rest of the team & constantly barking orders at them, which they happily followed. Anyone else remember them/her ? ?

Just remembered another pet peeve,you see an item new in the classifieds, so you start a pm stream: ME: Hey mate, if this is still available I'll take it please.... SELLER: Yeah, still here mate..... ME: Cool, send me your PayPal & I'll send it over....... Half hour later, your message has been read, the items marked as "sold" but no reply to your earlier pm. Hour or two later...... ME: Mate, still waiting on your paypal details ?......... 2 hours later you see your message has been read, but no reply ......... 24 hour later........... ME: Dude, what's occurring, are you selling this to me or what ? Hour later, your message has been read, still no reply...... 2 days later......... SELLER: Yeah, soz man, somebody messaged before you........ WTF, SO WHY DID YOU NOT SAY SOMEONE'S SAID THEY WANT IT, BUT IF IT FALLS THROUGH YOUR NEXT IN LINE ETC. & WTF IS THE GHOSTING ABOUT ? Definitely should be a reason for negative feedback, even if it's only to wake their ignorant dumb asses up ffs.

Put it in your basket & see what your payment options are, if paypal or similar is there, go for it, you're covered if they let you down.

Even worse when the piss-takers don't make the offer via pm, no they've gotta use the "ask a question" section on the thread itself, showing everyone else what a chancer they are. Another one that gets me, someone who's clearly desperate for a rif, so use that "ask a question" option on the thread, "Is this still available ?, what's your best price ?", but they don't ask just one member, no they'll ask about 5 members, usually with no one gun looking like the others, so clearly don't have a scooby about what they really want. ?‍♂️

I was gonna say that one. I'll take it a step further, the people who join & 3 minutes later put up a sales thread without having the sense to read the rules, & then wonder why their adverts for airguns/knives/trainers disappear ?. Oh yeah, & the scammers, thieving cnuts ?

Nice to see you back mate ?

I look at it the other way, milsim is meant to be based on warfare irl, & breaking in to your enemies comms is a very real thing irl. But, as you've said, most airsofters use comms for banter & piss taking, very little professional use, bit like knobs with taclights at night games, they usually do more harm than good to their own team?/?

Not technically correct, shops, like any seller, are required to be satisfied the buyer has a defence according to the vcra, obviously for shops ukara is the easiest, but not the only "paper" defence, some legitimate, some slightly shady. When it comes to private sales, some sellers are adamant they'll only accept ukara, but ultimately it's about convincing a seller that you're a legitimate player, something I've been able to do even though I haven't had ukara for more than a decade. That is of course on the rare occasion a sellers asks for proof of a defence, most just want to see the colour of your money ?

I'm guessing that's MINUS £3 ?, probable cost of posting ?
